Collectively known as the White Stripes, Jack and Meg White aren’t your typical rock stars.

Comedian Groucho Marx once quipped, “Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?” The answer to his question: millions of loving gay couples who are legally barred from doing so.

In a recent Hatchet interview, he discussed the making of his latest film, comparing it to his own surprisingly traditional […]

And now, for a lesson in simple economics! When demand for your product drops, for whatever reason, your profit is bound to drop unless you reevaluate the quantity you are supplying of said product. To continue operating at a profit after your demand drops, you must drop the amount of labor or capital involved in […]

SA works to get more meeting space Student Association members will work with University officials in the next few weeks to increase student group accessibility to academic space.

First GW’s two star seniors were hurt against eighth-ranked Penn State University last Friday, then the Nittany Lions added insult to injury by pummeling the Colonials, 77-51. GW (1-2) would recover to win its second game of the Junkanoo Jam, which was held on Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas, by beating Arizona State University […]
